Chapter 10. Photosynthesis: The Calvin Cycle Life from Air 2005-2006

Whoops! Wrong Calvin… 2005-2006

Remember what it means to be a plant… Need to produce all organic molecules necessary for growth carbohydrates, lipids proteins, nucleic acids Need to store chemical energy in stable form can be moved around plant saved for a rainy day 2005-2006

+ water + energy  glucose + oxygen Autotrophs Making energy & organic molecules from light energy photosynthesis + water + energy  glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide 6CO2 6H2O C6H12O6 6O2 light energy  + So, in effect, photosynthesis is respiration run backwards powered by light. 2005-2006

  build stuff !! Light reactions Convert solar energy to chemical energy ATP NADPH  energy  reducing power   build stuff !! 2005-2006

CO2 C6H12O6 How is that helpful? Want to make C6H12O6 synthesis How? From what? What raw materials are available? CO2 CO2 contains little energy because it is fully oxidized Reduce CO2 in a series of steps to synthesize a stable energy storage molecule NADPH reduce CO2 carbon fixation NADP C6H12O6 2005-2006

From CO2  C6H12O6 CO2 has very little chemical energy fully oxidized C6H12O6 contains a lot of chemical energy reduced endergonic Reduction of CO2  C6H12O6 proceeds in many small uphill steps each catalyzed by specific enzyme using energy stored in ATP & NADPH 2005-2006

From Light reactions to Calvin cycle chloroplast stroma Need products of light reactions to drive synthesis reactions ATP NADPH 2005-2006

ribulose bisphosphate ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase Calvin cycle (don’t count the carbons!) 1C CO2 ribulose bisphosphate 1. Carbon fixation 3. Regeneration 5C RuBP Rubisco 6C unstable intermediate 3 ADP 3 ATP ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase PGAL to make glucose 3C 2x PGA 3C x2 PGAL sucrose cellulose etc. RuBP = ribulose bisphosphate Rubisco = ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase PGA = phosphoglycerate PGAL = phosphoglyceraldehyde 2. Reduction 6 NADP 6 NADPH 6 ADP 6 ATP 3C 2x 2005-2006

Remember PGAL? glycolysis glucose fructose-6P DHAP PGAL pyruvate 2 ATP C-C-C-C-C-C Remember PGAL? 2 ATP glycolysis 2 ADP fructose-6P P-C-C-C-C-C-C-P DHAP P-C-C-C PGAL C-C-C-P 2 NAD+ 2 NADH Gluconeogenesis == making new glucose 4 ADP 4 ATP pyruvate C-C-C 2005-2006

Calvin cycle PGAL PGAL   important intermediate end product of Calvin cycle energy rich sugar 3 carbon compound “C3 photosynthesis” PGAL   important intermediate PGAL   glucose   carbohydrates   lipids   amino acids   nucleic acids 2005-2006

PGA PGAL RuBP PGA PGAL RuBP PGA RuBP 2005-2006

Rubisco Enzyme which fixes carbon from atmosphere ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase the most important enzyme in the world! it makes life out of air! definitely the most abundant enzyme 2005-2006

Accounting The accounting is complicated 3 turns of Calvin cycle = 1 PGAL 3 CO2 1 PGAL (3C) 6 turns of Calvin cycle = 1 C6H12O6 (6C) 6 CO2 1 C6H12O6 (6C) 18 ATP + 12 NADPH  1 C6H12O6 6 ATP = left over from light reactions for cell to use elsewhere 2005-2006

Photosynthesis summary Making energy & organic molecules from light energy + water + energy  glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide 6CO2 6H2O C6H12O6 6O2 light energy  + 2005-2006

Photosynthesis summary Light reactions produced ATP produced NADPH consumed H2O produced O2 as byproduct Calvin cycle consumed CO2 produced PGAL regenerated ADP regenerated NADP 2005-2006

Summary of photosynthesis 6CO2 6H2O C6H12O6 6O2 light energy  + Where did the CO2 come from? Where did the CO2 go? Where did the H2O come from? Where did the H2O go? Where did the energy come from? What’s the energy used for? What will the C6H12O6 be used for? Where did the O2 come from? Where will the O2 go? What else is involved that is not listed in this equation? 2005-2006

Supporting a biosphere On global scale, photosynthesis is the most important process for the continuation of life on Earth each year photosynthesis synthesizes 160 billion tons of carbohydrate heterotrophs are dependent on plants as food source for fuel & raw materials 2005-2006

The poetic perspective All the solid material of every plant was built out of thin air All the solid material of every animal was built from plant material sun air Then all the cats, dogs, mice, people & elephants… are really strands of air woven together by sunlight! 2005-2006

Any Questions?? 2005-2006
